Biography

The Good, the Bad & the Queen is the album by an unnamed British alternative rock band, made up of Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Simon Tong and Tony Allen, released in January 2007. The album debuted at number two in the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold in the UK within days of its release despite little media recognition and airplay. In the United States, the album entered the Billboard 200 at #49.

Although The Good, The Bad & The Queen was first reported as a solo album by Albarn with Danger Mouse producing, NME revealed in late July 2006 that the solo project had been switched to a new group formed by Albarn. The Good, the Bad & the Queen is in a sense a concept album, as its songs are all themed around modern life in London. It was described by Albarn as "a song cycle that's also a mystery play about London" in an interview with Mojo.

    ...The album is still more than the sum of its parts, much like the Big Smoke itself.
